Did Devin Bukla play today's game against the Clippers?
If you only look at the data, there is no doubt about it.
With 41 minutes on the field, Booker shot only 5 of 16 and made 7 turnovers, which was inefficient.
But in the fourth quarter of the game, he completed his self-redemption.
Nine points in a single quarter, including consecutive key shots in the final moments.
Therefore, the booker in this scene is actually a counterpoint.
After Ayton finished his kill, Booker attended a press conference and gave an interview.
I don't know if you have noticed that the bridge of his nose that was accidentally injured during the game has been swollen like a stone?
Perhaps, this is why Kobe Bryant is optimistic about Booker.
It is worth mentioning that when Booker returned to the locker room in the third quarter, he had two stitches quickly and then returned to the game.
Perhaps, this is the mamba spirit.
When Kobe Bryant was not yet retired, he once talked about his views on Booker in an interview with reporters.
He said: "The first time Devon took the ball, he imitated my movements, and I told him not to use my moves against me."
"But I feel relieved to see him imitating my movements."
"After that game, I wrote a message to him: Become a legend".
Booker's current personal achievements are not enough to be called legendary.
But he definitely has the ability to write his own legendary story in the next career.
Booker, who has more than once said in public that he is a Kobe fan, braved Beverley's sharp stop mid-range jumper in the final moments of the fourth quarter, and really looked like the black mamba of the year.
Greatness is a legacy.
I sincerely hope that Devon Booker will become the second black mamba.
